OK, so anyone who saw my thread on "what did my husband buy this time" knows that I now have an old NuArc Rapid Printer. I could be getting ahead of myself since I don't even know if it works, but I have my first dumb questions.
1-Does it need to be in my darkroom or can it be used in a regular room with most lights off? I am currently thinking about cyanotypes, Van Dyke Browns, and possibly more.
2-What kind of oil is needed for the vacuum pump and how do I make sure that it will work without seizing it up? Any other things to watch out for with it? Can I use it without the vacuum?
At the moment, question 1 is kinda more important because I can't leave it in the mudroom forever and I need to know what kind space I need to clean out to make it fit.
